just swell

my cousin annie and i decided friday eve at 11 p.m. prior to the beloved 3-day memorial weekend to rendezvous in richfield and then head for the swell (san rafael that is) for the weekend. annie's 1960 ish bug is a beauty but is questionable of it's reliability at times so it was a good meeting ground for her driving from vegas. i don't see why my 97 civic with now 197K miles on it seems to be so much more reliable, but it is, sorry annie. she did have to get towed from south of cedar to st. george on her way back and then again a few days later in vegas so i can substantiate that statement.

so with our bikes on top of the car we headed for tomisch butte and hondu arch fm recommendations from my friend levi. it was wonderful to sleep beneath the starts. saturday was full of a little biking, a lot-o hiking in the wilderness area including being bit by a small army of deer flies, and a little mine exploring. once i get the video i'll attach. if i can figure it out that is.

isn't this amazing it! i love the patterns and shapes. a little wind, rain and sand... amazing.

i wish this was in color

ain't she cute? anyone know a good Catholic boy?
we ate lunch here...

then we decided to go to moab to see fart pipe and eat food and pick up church the next day.

then back to the swell but this time to the black dragon where we almost got civic stuck but annie was a good pusher.

the wind blew our tarp and woke us up multiple times thinking it may be a skinwalker but we didn't see anything... this time.

monday was a short ride...
with some pictographs
dinosaur findings
and cool mountainish rocks...
my ride home was pleasant while annie got towed...
all and all it was swell
